While making the note more complete in terms of metadata, it's redundant because it's supposed to be a personal wiki. Only one person is the assumed owner of them.

My concept of evergreen notes is mainly inspired from [[https://notes.andymatuschak.org/z4SDCZQeRo4xFEQ8H4qrSqd68ucpgE6LU155C][Andy Matuschak's version]] in a way that focuses writing evergreen notes as a way of developing your knowledge.
|
|
As said from his note, an evergreen note focuses on evolving and being dynamic.
|
|
It should be taken with you as you develop more perspectives and more insight between a graph of concepts.
|
|
As such, with evergreen notes, you'll be doing more editing than creating as the web of notes widens.
|
|
|
|
An evergreen note should have the following principles:
|
|
|
|
- [[https://notes.andymatuschak.org/z4Rrmh17vMBbauEGnFPTZSK3UmdsGExLRfZz1][Evergreen notes should be atomic.]]
|
|
- [[https://notes.andymatuschak.org/z6bci25mVUBNFdVWSrQNKr6u7AZ1jFzfTVbMF][Evergreen notes should be concept-oriented.]]
|
|
- [[https://notes.andymatuschak.org/z2HUE4ABbQjUNjrNemvkTCsLa1LPDRuwh1tXC][Evergreen notes should be densely linked.]]
|
|
- [[https://notes.andymatuschak.org/z29hLZHiVt7W2uss2uMpSZquAX5T6vaeSF6Cy][Evergreen notes should form an associative ontology rather than an hierarchical taxonomy.]]
|
|
|
|
With that said, writing an evergreen note has no absolute rule.
|
|
Furthermore, you shouldn't focus too much on how to write effectively since [[https://notes.andymatuschak.org/z8V2q398qu89vdJ73N2BEYCgevMqux3yxQUAC][most note-taking practices are generally ineffective]].
|
|
Focusing on it is a distraction to the very objective of creating evergreen notes: [[https://notes.andymatuschak.org/z6cFzJWgj9vZpnrQsjrZ8yCNREzCTgyFeVZTb][developing insights]].
|
|
|
|
To start writing an evergreen note, you could start with your [[file:2020-06-25-13-12-09.org][Fleeting notes]] and outline the main ideas.
|
|
An evergreen note does not have to be finished within one sitting.
|
|
In fact, it is preferred to build it incrementally, editing the note as you go developing insights.
|
|
(It is previously mentioned that evergreen notes should be taken with you, after all.)
